Yep, and iffin I'd have taken better care of,it may have lasted longer....I had a short in the electrical systems and it would take about 2 weeks to kill the battery, did this 3 or 4 times till I got the wiring fixed, once I had forgot about it and the battery was dead and stayed that way at least a month.....much neglect and abuse on my part, not the battery's fault, my present red top Optima is about 3 or 4 years old and seems to be doing fine.....
